Did you know that all tournaments involving affiliated football clubs in Kent must be sanctioned by Kent FA? Failure to obtain sanctioning could result in a breach of FA regulations.

We are now accepting tournament sanction applications for summer 2025. We understand how important these events are for clubs, and we are committed to ensuring they take place in a safe and regulated environment. It is the responsibility of both clubs and referees to participate only in Kent FA-sanctioned tournaments. Without the proper sanctioning, your tournament may not be covered by FA regulations, which could lead to issues with personal accident insurance, public liability insurance, and disciplinary procedures.

To ensure your tournament remains fun, safe, and inclusive, complete the Tournament Sanction Application Form today! A member of our team will be in touch to guide you through the next steps.

For more information on tournament sanctioning and to access the application form, visit Kent FA Tournament Sanctioning

Due to the affiliation process now being managed through Platform For Football (PFF), affiliation numbers are no longer generated or required from the host club when requesting entrant team details. 

Useful Resources

For guidance on organising your tournament, take a look at the official FA Guide on How to Run a Tournament.
